"Your daughter-in-law is even busier than me. If we were both busy, how would we have the time? Forget it! Since the emperor doesn't want to, let's postpone this matter for a few years and talk about it when we have time."
Gongye Siheng stood up and seemed unwilling to say anything more.
Seeing him take a step forward, Gong Yeji suspected that he had been deceived, but he was also really afraid that they really thought so. After struggling for a long time, he squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "Okay! I will reluctantly help you for a while!"
His face was very tense: "But you have to be quick! You don't want to be laughed at by me, right?"
Gongye Siheng's lips curled up into a smile, not caring about his provocation, and thanked him cheerfully: "Thank you, father, for your help!"
····
Time flies and another year has passed. After Ji Changying got married, he traveled between the two countries. He left all the trivial matters at hand to others to handle and concentrated on farming.
His subordinate Liu Shicong has transformed from a mere businessman to a royal merchant traveling between the two countries, and is extremely popular.
Wan Ling'er did not stay behind the scenes just because she was a woman. Instead, she was very capable and traveled between the two countries, becoming a well-known female housekeeper under Liu Shicong.
Wang Fugui also transformed himself into the owner of the largest shop in the Beijing flower market.
Ji Changying will open a girls' school and teach girls flower arrangement, flower and plant cultivation, and development of new varieties, and all other matters will be handed over to Hu.
The purpose is to provide a place for those women who have divorced or are struggling to survive, and to provide them with skills to support themselves.
At first, Mrs. Hu was very surprised and even a little hesitant.
But with Ji Changying's encouragement, she gradually stepped out of the trivial matters in the backyard and became the female dean who acts decisively today.
Ji Mingxue and Xu Qi went through many ups and downs in Liangzhou and finally got together.
After hearing this, Mrs. Hu looked at the letter with a mixture of relief and anger: "Serves you right! I was so confident in the beginning, but after pursuing this girl for so many years, she finally agreed!"
Ji Changying couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "My second brother has finally found happiness after suffering so much, but he's now stationed in Liangzhou and can't leave easily. Should we go to Liangzhou to see him?"
Mrs. Hu shook her head. "No need. He said that by the time the letter arrived, they should have been married. When he comes to Beijing for the New Year this year, he will bring his wife to see us."
Ji Changying nodded and said no more.
Ji Mingxue is now valued by Zhonglizhou and has been promoted to the rank of seventh-rank captain. Although the official position is not high, he has a bright future. He just cannot leave the border easily.
However, Ji Mingxue had also gotten used to the life there and felt much more comfortable than in the capital.
——
On this day, Ji Changying was observing the newly grown mutated corn at the edge of the field. She was recording the data in her hands and thinking about the reasons in her mind. She didn't even notice when Gongye Siheng stood behind her.
Gongye Siheng stood gloomily by the side, his hands behind his back. "You haven't paid any attention to me for three days. When will you finally look at me?"
Thinking about the past three days when she had been staring at the corn and completely forgetting the people around her, a trace of guilt flashed in Ji Changying's eyes.
Just as she was about to speak, Gongye Siheng pulled out an iron chain and said with a sinister look, "Aying, do you think I should tie you to me and never let you go? Or should I lock you up so you can only look at me?"
Ji Changying reached out and grabbed the chain and pulled it to both sides. The chain was as fragile as a piece of paper in her hand and broke.
"What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly. Can you say it again?"
Gongye Siheng's sinister expression cracked: "..."
Seeing him like this, Ji Changying curled her lips into a smile, pulled his collar down, and pecked him lightly on the lips: "Be good, be obedient, and don't get angry."
She knew that Gongye Siheng was somewhat insecure and very clingy because of his own experience.
But she is not the kind of person who is blinded by lust. When it comes to serious matters, she naturally ignores everything else.
Gongye Siheng felt her pulling away, so he hugged her and pressed against her tightly, deepening the kiss.
Ji Changying suddenly felt a little unwell and struggled.
However, she didn't expect Gongye Siheng to misunderstand her meaning and hugged her even tighter.
In desperation, Ji Changying used all her strength to push him away, then turned around and retched violently.
Gongye Siheng looked at her in shock and hurt, his beautiful black eyes as if he had suffered a major blow: "You..."
"Help me call a doctor!"
Ji Changying ignored his complicated feelings, shouted, and turned around to spit it out.
Gongye Siheng seemed to react at this time, and ran out like crazy to pull back an imperial physician.
After the imperial physician nervously took Ji Changying's pulse, a look of joy appeared on his face: "Congratulations to the Crown Prince! Congratulations to the Crown Princess! This is a pregnancy pulse!"
A look of understanding flashed in Ji Changying's eyes, but Gongye Siheng was already stunned.
He, he is going to be a father???
Ji Changying looked at the dazed and completely unresponsive person, speechless for a moment, and ordered someone to send the imperial physician out of the house.
Then···
She lowered her head to study the data she had recorded.
Gongye Siheng didn't wake up until it was dark and the servants had lit all the lights in the yard. Then he started to panic as if waking from a dream, "Aying! Aying!"
Ji Changying, who was in the inner room, held her forehead helplessly: "What's wrong?"
Gongye Siheng rushed in: "I, I'm going to be a father?!"
"right."
"I really want to be a father? I have no experience. What if I can't do it well? What should I do now?"
He was so excited that he was walking around the room, talking incoherently.
Ji Changying was very calm, "First, stop."
"Secondly, you should ask the imperial physician if there is anything you should be aware of. I have others to take care of the rest, so just focus on your own affairs."
He seemed to have calmed down now, "You rest first, I'll be back soon!"
He rushed into Gong Yeji's bedroom in the middle of the night like the wind and told Gong Yeji about this.
Upon hearing that they were having a child, Gong Yeji laughed heartily, "God has mercy on us! We're finally having one! I can finally step down!"
····
Ideals are full, but reality is skinny.
Gongye Ji thought that he could finally wave goodbye casually without taking away a cloud, and be a retired emperor in peace, enjoying the happiness of family.
However, Gongye Siheng did not expect that from that day on, he would almost always keep an eye on Ji Changying and take care of her, and was completely uninterested in state affairs.
After Ji Changying gave birth to her eldest daughter, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to the task of raising the child, wishing to give her child everything she had lost.
While cursing for being useless, Gong Yeji gritted his teeth and continued to handle state affairs, teasing his granddaughter from time to time, so his life was not too boring.
Emperor Mingde's body could no longer hold on.
When he was dying, he thought about his life and it seemed that there was nothing to explain, so he sighed.
He has delayed for so long, I guess Xiaoruo should have been reincarnated as a human, right?
After making things difficult for her and making her depressed for half her life, he can finally go and give her freedom.
Closing his eyes, he passed away quietly in his own bedroom...
